An Absolutely Artistically Brilliant Cinematography But The Story Could Have Been Better
Positive Points
1. This drama was such a visual feast. This drama had one of the best cinematographies I have ever watched in a Chinese drama. The director was the star of the drama for me. The cast was nice. This has one of the most beautiful wedding scenes in the history of Chinese drama, in my opinion. I absolutely loved this drama.
2. I absolutely loved the portrayal of independent, strong women in this drama. The FL, though a bit unrealistic, was an absolute delight to watch. Her intelligence, damn care attitude was an absolute delight to watch. Her grandma was the main backer and guardian for her, and it certainly portrays the importance of such a guardian for a woman to actually flourish. Without such a grandma, it would have been impossible for the FL to be so decisive, independent, and strong-willed.
3. The leads had a beautiful relationship, and it was a delight to see a ML who is respectful towards the FL's choice and actions.
Negative Points
1. The biggest problem in this drama for me was the actress playing the FL. Although I appreciated her amazing visual chemistry with Li Yun Rui, I am not a big fan of the FL's acting in this drama. If not for the amazing cinematography, her lapse in acting could have ruined the drama. She was not bad, but she certainly was not that great at all. Her character was certainly not written realistically. To turn her into an all-rounder, the writer made the FL's character do unrealistic things, and it ruined my viewing experience. The FL learned medicine from her monk friend. But medicine is not something that you can learn overnight, and it requires constant practice to a certain extent. Here, the FL learned medicine within a few months, and she was prescribing medicine for the ML and also for her admirer like a professional doctor. She also performed acupuncture for that admirer with lung disease. She also cured the king with her earth-shattering medical knowledge. She also does not need to practice regularly as her ability never regresses. What made the writer think that medicine was such an easy thing to learn? If the writer wanted me to believe it, it would have been better if it had been shown that she had studied medicine from childhood. She can also shoot with precision without any practice, which is also odd. Any kind of knowledge needs practice, no matter how talented a person is. Even if you can't show her showing such scenes, as it kills time, you should not also show unrealistic things that she got it right from the 1st time. It's rubbish and not believable at all.
2. No matter how good the cinematography was, the story was a bit slow for my liking. Though the story was slow from the start, it was still great until episode 20, in my opinion. Later, I felt the story slowed down a bit too much for my liking. The storyline could have been made a bit tighter.
Overall, it was a great drama, and I absolutely loved watching it.
